철도는 친환경 요소를 두루 갖춘 최첨단 교통수단으로 주목받고 있을 뿐만 아니라 더 나아가 다른 교통수단과의 경쟁에서 우위를차지하기 위해 여객수송의 품질 향상과 운행에너지 절감을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 도시철도에서는 불특정 다수의 승객에게 서비스하는 업종 특성상 운송효율과 에너지절감을 위한 연구가 대부분이고 여객수송의 품질 향상에 대한 연구는 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여객 수송의 품질향상 측면으로 접근하여 도시철도 노선에서 일반열차와 급행열차의 자·수동 운전방식의 3차원 진동 횡가속도를 다양한 환경에서 측정하고, 이 측정된 3차원 진동 횡가속도와 국제철도협회에서 제시한 UIC513R의 통계적인 기법을 기반으로 승차감을 도출하고 비교 분석하였다

The railway system has been recognized as one of the best eco-friendly advanced transportation systems. Furthermore, the improvement of the passenger transportation quality and the energy saving have been studied for being the most competitive transportation system. However, most of the studies have been mainly focused on the improvement of the transportation efficiency and energy saving because of the characteristics of the urban railway which serves the unspecified multiple passengers. In this paper, the 3-dimensional vibratory lateral acceleration has been measured in various environments for the automatic and manual operation modes of the general train and express train in the urban railway lines. In terms of the improvement of the passenger transportation quality, the comparison analysis of the ride quality is carried out based on the measured 3-dimensional vibratory lateral acceleration and the statistical techniques of UIC513R suggested by the International Union of Railways.

In an automatic combination weigher, the line feeders distribute the product to several weighing hoppers. The ability to supply appropriate amount of product to the weighing hoppers for each combination operation is crucial for the overall performance. Determining the right duration of operating a line feeder to supply a given amount of product becomes very challenging in case of products which are irregular in volume or specific gravity such as granular secondary processed foods. In this research, several schemes were investigated to determine the best way for a line feeder to approximate the next operating time in order to supply a set amount of irregular goods to the corresponding weighing hopper. Results obtained show that a weighted least squares method (WLS) employing 10 data points is the most effective in determining the operating times of line feeders.

Non-structural improvements to urban drainage systems are necessary to overcome the elevated levels of urban flood damage. This study proposed a type of automatic pump/gate operation technology for urban pump stations that takes reservoir inflows and river water levels into account and its performance is compared with the current operation using the concept of residual flow-based resilience. The proposed automatic operation relies on three pump operations and two gate operations. The water depth at the monitoring node was used for the pump operation, and the monitoring node was selected in consideration of the first overflow node and the maximum overflow node. The target area is the Daegu Bisan urban pump station, and the rainfall data consisted of probability rainfall sets with durations of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes, and frequencies of 30, 50, and 70 years. As a result of the application of the proposed operation, differences in the resilience between the automatic operation and the current operation were at least 5.20E-05 with a maximum of 8.07E-04. The longer the duration is, the greater the difference in the resilience.

In the limited computer simulations and experiments that have been presently carried out, several conclusions have been found. Above critical speed of the rotating system, ADB can balance the rotating disk. Therefore, it can be predicted that ADB can make an uniform flash during the friction welding.

It is possible to automate the operation of a smart home system with the help of technologies and equipment that provide customized services based on the person’s information. Smart home provides services by combining home appliances which are configured for a user. A person determines the actions that need to be taken in order to meet a goal based on the context, situation and various conditions. In this paper, using Ontology, Case-based Reasoning, HTN (Hierarchical task network) Planning, we propose a process to deliver results for the effective operation of smart home domains which is similar to human thinking. We have three scenarios: Watching TV mode, Comfortable mode and Rest mode. The results of the scenarios include ontology which helps recognizing the context, Case-based Reasoning which finds order and scope in tasks and HTN planning which provides effective result for user’s requirements and information

Sensors play a major role in an automated manufacturing system. They are used for getting information from manufacturing operations and processes that are being performed. They are also used for making decisions about the operations being conducted. The purpose of sensors is to inspect and monitor the work-in-progress interface with the manufacturing equipment. In manufacturing industries the multi-operation machine like VMC (Vertical machining center) and HMC (Horizontal machining center) are the major part. It is used to improve the high productivity, high quality and high accuracy of the product. But the CNC machine has some drawbacks like high initial investment, high maintenance and skilled labor wants to operate the machine. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a low cost automatic multi-operation machine. It performs basic machining operations like drilling, tapping and boring using low cost color sensors (LDR and LEDs). In this system color sensors are the main part to determine the machining operations based on the usage of color LEDs. If LDR detects the color LED the machining operation will take places, the machining operation and job clamping operation are achieved by pneumatic system. All these operations are carried out in a sequence by pre-programming the Programmable Logic Controller.

급제동 시 추돌사고를 방지하기 위하여 비상등 자동작동 기능이 없는 기존 차량에 손쉽게 추가장착이 가능한 비상등 자동작동 시스템을 제안하였다. 급제동을 인식하기 위해서는 몇 가지 방법이 있지만 GPS를 사용하면 시스템이 터널에서 작동하지 않으며 차량 속도 센서를 사용하면 기존 차량에 시스템을 추가로 설치하기 어렵다. 따라서 제안한 시스템은 가속도 센서를 사용하여 이러한 문제점들을 제거하고 차량의 급회전 및 급바운스도 인식 할 수 있도록 하였다.

In order to prevent a collision accident during sudden braking, we have proposed an hazard lamps automatic operation system that can be easily installed in existing vehicles that do not have hazard lamps automatic operation. There are several ways to recognize sudden braking. Using GPS, the system does not work in a tunnel, and it is difficult to install the system additionally on an existing vehicle using a vehicle speed sensor. Therefore, the proposed system eliminates these problems by using the acceleration sensor and makes it possible to recognize even the sudden turning and bounce of the vehicle.

We developed an automatic blood pressure control system to maintain the blood pressure of patients at a substantially low level during a surgical operation. The developed system discharges two functions, continuous feedback control of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) by a state-predictive servo controller and risk control based on the inference by fuzzy-like logics and rules using measured data. Twenty-eight clinical applications were made beginning in November 1995, and the effects of the automatic blood pressure control on the operation time and on bleeding were assessed affirmatively by means of Wilcoxon testing. This paper essentially reports the engineering details of the control system.
